Solfachord Deck #753967 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Darklord boss Fusion/Link pressure (The First Darklord, Darklord Eveningstar, Darklord Morningstar) built from Darklord recursion and Darklord Dance; Mulcharmy draw-and-attrition followed by Solfachord/GranSolfachord Link pressure; Super Polymerization fusion access to the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Darklord Djehuty or Gulgolet (Special Summon text), search with Banishment of the Darklords or Gulgolet's GY effect, then spend the rest of the turn on Darklord Dance or Super Polymerization for a boss; protect with Ash Blossom / Ghost Belle / Herald. Pendulum Solfachord access is secondary.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Herald of Orange Light and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Darklord Ixchel / Gulgolet discard-and-search text. Solfachord Pendulum Summons are a backup line.
• Recovery: Recover the Darklord GY recursion effects (Djehuty, Gulgolet, Contact, Rebellion) and Darklord Ixchel draw to rebuild the hand after a board wipe (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster).
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan is available; the list cannot be legally tuned for best-of-3 as submitted.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: it runs Forbidden Called by the Grave, and Ash Blossom, Herald of Orange Light, Super Polymerization and Droll & Lock Bird exceed their copy limits, so it is scored as a structural-only theoretical read and capped low. The Darklord core is the most reliable part: a 97% chance that at least one archetype-core card lands in a 5-card opening hand and several self-Special-Summon starters, which keeps the engine accessible on the first turns. Interaction is the strongest system trait (about 21 negate-text cards, 11 hand traps and several destruction effects), but the deck runs 63 off-archetype copies with only 8 exact-name Solfachord copies, so the Solfachord engine is thin and the deck does not form one coherent plan. No recorded combo boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and no combo ceiling is reported. The score was built from the deck as a whole, not from averaging its individual card scores, and popularity of the Solfachord label did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary (secondary profile not blended; weights used as-is). Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional. Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(43.75) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.0; context modifiers total -10 = 32; Illegal list capped to 25 (theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is almost always present in an opening hand (97.4% for at least one core card)
• Dense interaction: 21 negate-text cards, 11 hand traps and 15 removal-text cards
• Multiple self-Special-Summon and recursion routes for Darklord starters
• Darklord Morningstar and Eveningstar provide 3000-ATK closing bosses

Weaknesses

• The list is Illegal in OCG (Forbidden card run and 4 cards over their copy limits)
• Only 8 exact-name Solfachord cards; 63 off-archetype copies make the Solfachord label misleading
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards to validate a ceiling or median
• Several engines (Darklord, Pendulum, Link, Fusion) compete for the same main deck slots

Critical choke points

• Darklord starters (Djehuty, Gulgolet) are the only self-Special-Summon route into the bosses; losing them to a hand trap leaves few backup starters
• Super Polymerization is the only fusion enabler and is over its copy limit, so removing it cuts Extra Deck access

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 5 violations over copy limits or Forbidden status; Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 composition and archetype spread; Archetype purity 11.3%; 11 hand traps; 21 negate-text cards
• Inferred: Starter and core-access probabilities from hypergeometric draw odds; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Engine conflict and error-tolerance reads
• Provisional: Meta and format-fit scoring (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered, so post-side behavior is unknown deck title is null
